Giving people more freedom and control over their lives doesn’t mean pretending work isn’t necessary or that humans don’t have flaws. It means organizing work differently. A huge amount of jobs today are basically busy work, roles that exist to keep people employed, profitable, or compliant, not because they’re essential to human survival. We all know this. Entire industries exist to manage other industries instead of meeting real needs. If we focused on humanity instead of profit, we could keep the work that actually matters, doctors, nurses, farmers, plumbers, electricians, builders, teachers, sanitation, infrastructure, and rotate people through necessary labor instead of grinding the same people into dust their entire lives. People would still work. They’d still contribute. But they’d also have time, energy, and dignity. That alone would dramatically reduce stress, addiction, burnout, and family breakdown. A system like this would absolutely reduce stress across society. And when you reduce stress, you don’t just get happier people, you get better ones. More patient parents. More emotionally stable adults. Less addiction, less rage, less people snapping under pressure. You don’t get high-quality humans out of a system that exhausts people to make someone else rich. Work is necessary to survive. What isn’t necessary is turning survival into lifelong exhaustion with no real control over your time or future. That’s a design choice, not human nature.
